Cologne / Bonn Airport
Granted - I drove the breakfast coffee with astonishment in the trachea: the Bonner General-Anzeiger waited this morning on page 1 with a headline of a special kind:
"Canada builds military base in Cologne / Bonn. Hub for foreign missions. Airport by Prime announcement surprised. "(GA v Bonn. 15.2.2012)
Well, so fast it can go, right? The already noise-ridden citizens are not asked, even the airport knows nothing of his good fortune.
Time to revise the Thomas-de-Maizière image again: The graumausig-inconspicuous occurring always velvety steamed daherredende de Maizière, a graduate of the Leadership Program of the Atlantic in Bridge to Berlin (Young Leader Alumnus) is underestimated: it is in the tough thing and he gets what he wants by acting without much noise, without special notice, quickly.
The Bonn have already hintertücksche its kind get to feel when he announced in September last year, to want as much as possible to enable employees of the Defense Department from Bonn to Berlin and warned that one should not prefer on a strict interpretation of the Berlin / Bonn Act persevere. The Bonner was outraged. They rely on the law - but the others have already done in vain in our Republic ... De Maizière any event drives the move forward unhindered.
Now the North American lightning visit. Result: Canada or his Defence Minister Peter McKray building a logistic and strategic hub for foreign operations at Cologne / Bonn Airport . Point. Just just under the de Maizières comment: "I am very pleased that Canada will settle its strategic hub in eastern direction in Cologne / Bonn".
The new "hub" to the east is all the more strange, as Canada is well known to be "robust" involvement in Afghanistan has been set. Reason for the decision was the night flight operations in Cologne / delusion.
The region, however, feels provoked by de Maizière. The event should not be seen urgently on a larger scale - with a planned Middle East war and attack on Iran do?
First, it must be recalled that the Canadian government under Stephen Harper with Defence Minister Peter MacKay 2008 a gigantic armor hung up project - the Canadian military should be better equipped. This was the government worth $ 400 billion. The Canadian public and parliamentarians criticized then violently that there was no cost estimates, calculations or other written material about this project.
Premier Stephen Harper said then unceremoniously Parliament as "dysfunctional", it broke up and called new elections. This he won, though without an absolute majority. Since then ruled Harper in an unprecedented manner by repeatedly the role of Parliament are abrogated ("suspension of Parliament work").
Beginning of 2010, it came in at least 20 Canadian cities demonstrations against the "closure of democracy" by the Harper government. A parliamentary inquiry in 2011 came to the conclusion that Harper's government denied the Parliament in various cases, important information or had concealed. However, for the subsequent preferred elections, the conservative Harper emerged with an absolute majority!
The Canadian Prime Minister Harper has a very pronounced political opinions:
In November 2010 in Ottawa, the "International Parliamentary Conference against anti-Semitism" instead: Harper said there in front of about 200 delegates from all over the world, Canada would unequivocally defend the position of Israel. The ultra-right Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liebermann therefore rightly commented: "It's hard to find a country that Israel is set against friendly than Canada. No other country has such demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of ourselves. "
And Harper on Iran in a CBS News interview on 01/17/2012 : "It does not need to be discussed, that Iran develops a nuclear weapon and lying about it."
Harper and his defense zweifeellos belong to the class of Antlanto-Zionists for critics and many Canadians of Arab descent. Protection of the Jewish people is equated with the protection of the government of the State and its Middle East policy.
The unusual seamless convergence was also expressed in the closest military cooperation between the two countries; z. example, in a number of high profile meetings ("Strategic Dialogue") of military leaders of both countries in Israel in 2008. Here, interested Canadian military so-called above all the relevant experience of the country. asymmetric and non-conventional operations and Israel experiences with counterinsurgency in the occupied territories. This, above all against the backdrop of the bombing of Lebanon following the capture of two IDF soldiers by the Palestinian Hezbollah (2006) and the Gaza Strip (2008) with z. T. novel ammunition.
Demonstration in Toronto - criticism of Harper's support for the war in Lebanon as a "moderate response"; Source unknown "
Stephen Haper had, to the astonishment of some Canadian compatriots referred to the massive destruction of Lebanon as "moderate response" and full support of Canada insured. It was then in the country to protest marches of thousands, who pushed for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the bombing of civilians.
For Haper but any criticism is always a false front, never really or even entitled: On the said Conference in Ottawa, he said:
The international anti-Semitism, though was as primitive as ever, in his methods, however sophisticated than ever before, "He targets the Jewish people by the Jewish homeland, Israel, as the source of global injustice and strife aims. And he does this, perversely, adopt the language of human rights. "( cf.. herein )
In 2006, the Lebanon bombing at least 1500 civilians have fallen victim, including a Canadian UN soldier who came on a UN observation post in southern Lebanon in an Israeli attack killed.
Germany and Canada have also for some years a strong collaboration that centers primarily on the Leopard 2: The tank is a major export. PICTURE know :
"With the sale of the Leopard II and other military products Germany has developed in recent years to become the third largest arms exporter in the world and has now reached a world market share of eleven percent. This was announced by the Peace Research Institute, SIPRI. Accordingly, the German war weapons exports doubled from 2005 to 2009 compared to the previously studied period 2000-2004 ".
Canadians were formed in the Lüneburger Heide on Lepoard , Germany lent Canada for the embattled southern Afghanistan 20 tanks . More than a quarter of the German arms sales (27 percent) accounted for armored vehicles such as the Leopard II.
At the current meeting de Maizières meeting with his Canadian counterpart, it was not just about the new strategic hub and the "hub" to the east but also for closer defense cooperation to other armored vehicles, following the positive experience of Canada with the Leo 2, "The relations with Canada are already very tight. Now there are discussions on deepening defense cooperation, "the defense minister according to the World Express v. 14.2.2012 .
Iran plays in the life of Canadian defense minister a significant role, but less as a threat: The well-known womanizer and Parliament beau Peter MacCray was already in love with a whole series of Canadian politicians, engaged, dating. Even Condoleezza Rice, the former U.S. Secretary of State should have been on his list. There may have been a surprise when he finally last month stipulated and the former Iranian Nazanin Afshin-Jam Miss World is married.
MacKay's wife fled after the fall of the Shah from Iran as a child with her family and was home in Canada. The First Lady is studied at the same time political activist, is at the forefront of campaigns against their homeland, their video clips reveal their obvious sympathy for the western inspired and sponsored "color revolutions". Afshin-Jam is co-founder of an initiative against child executions in Iran.

Latest addition:
"'A European hub at Cologne / Bonn would allow the Canadian army to respond quickly when humanitäte missions, peacekeeping operations or combat missions should be necessary,' so the press department of the army."
Questions for Michael Garvens, airport chief Cologne / Bonn: Can the airport at all reject military flights and this is also true for the military part? Answer: The military part is the responsibility of the federal government. If the flights handled on the airport has no handle to reject it. "(GA v Bonn. 16.2.2012).
Conclusion: Thomas de Maizière has obviously decided. Since it comes to Military or military flights, the densely populated region has no formal say. So far, the Canadians wrapping their flights from Spangdahlem in the Eifel.

Where If the outcry of our precious pacifists?
When I in the army in the Company 1/291 Fallschjg. . Battalion was doing my service in the years 1967-1968, it said: never again a German soldier on foreign soil, never again war from Germany and other sayings. And what has become of it?
Quiet. Take it easy.
How can you come up with such old chestnuts. In 1968, the and said. The political actors can not remember a few seconds after a word-secretion of the exact wording, but.
And Mitschpracherecht of the population in occupied territory. ????
Makes your jokes. ??? Have you still not realized that we are occupied ??? If you have not even want to clear the thicket that the FRG (As agents of the Allies) to conceal the facts have to grow. To read the article 146 of the Basic Law:
This Basic Law shall cease to be valid on the day on which a constitution enters into force, which has been adopted by the German people in a free decision.
And as long as there's no peace treaty. And without peace treaty no sovereignty. As long as martial law.
And just because the Allies was here 67 years here in their barracks
so they were always there. Or ????
People will awake. The flag rotate. As in Hambach original.
Back up the gold. End the deception.
Your sliding block
Who are these de Maiziere and his comrades the right of other people or entire peoples to rule and to determine?
Governments have no utility value for a company, they lie, deceive and rape the people just to get power and maintain it. Free nations do not need a ruler, whether as kings, dictators or in party systems. Humanity would be poorer without this before Munder and self operator in each area evolved and suffering to many. We do not need these gentlemen but they need us. We end this tragedy finally, future generations will thank us.
Armies should only purely only serving national defense, each Presence of an army on the territory of another country, for whatever reason or cause whatsoever, debunked this army as occupiers and aggressors. Each country is under any pretext occupied by foreign troops, these troops must grant expenses and special rights is not free, a vassal state. The FRG is an example for many decades.
I have to follow up with another one.
These people do not ask if they can what. Power is now times not what you get. Makes you take yourself.
And the fidgeting what the civil society presents. Oh God.
War Get Started ?. Equal to the final starts but I've had a bottle of beer as stand. People will only awake when the grenade hit. Then the avoidance of reality just has inevitably an end. It's madness as a ticking filled society. And make the "The" full calculus. Madness
Germany it should be no more after !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your sliding block
One should these Canadians, if need be violent, to make clear that the occupation is over and that they have to want nothing more in Germany!
No, fisticuffs lead nowhere and do not solve the problem. For us the name of our German contact de Maizière, the problem must be based on the political agenda so lonely decisions of our defense minister over the heads of the affected region and even the whole country away are named for what they are: Krass undemocratic.
Before this whole context, I hear the loud wailing and gnashing of teeth at Allied retreat expressions as sheer hypocrisy. Since be laid with loud Tam-Tam soldiers and whole sites in order to collect the same through the revolving door again. The Americans embarrassed but also their Kommandatur from Belgium to Ramstein. Germany as a NATO revolving door. Wonderful ...
